Punjab Kings v Royal Challengers Bengaluru Preview
Coached by legendary Australia captain Ricky Ponting, Punjab Kings were excellent throughout the group stage, finishing top of the table thanks to nine wins from their 14 matches. Now just one victory from reaching the final, they’ll be seeking a fast start from in-form top-order batsmen Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya. They can also rely on the experience of captain Shreyas Iyer who is the first player to lead three IPL teams into the playoffs.
Just like PBKS, Royal Challengers Bengaluru have yet to win the IPL but have looked particularly impressive this season, finishing second in the group thanks to a six-wicket victory over Lucknow Super Giants on Tuesday. Led by former England coach Andy Flower, RCB have plenty of batting power in Virat Kohli, Phil Salt and Liam Livingstone, while fast bowler Josh Hazlewood has become one of the most feared death bowlers in the competition.
Whoever takes this opening qualifier will secure a spot in Tuesday's final, while the loser will be afforded a second opportunity on Sunday against either the Gujarat Titans or Mumbai Indians.
